Installation of new pendant and switch

Hi. I intend to split a large bedroom by installing a stud wall. We'll install a pendant and switch in each room by moving the existing set up for room 1 and then installing an additinal pendant and switch in room 2 by extending the circuit from room 1. My dad is a competent installer (part P qualified & 17th edition) but not registered to sign off his own work. Can you advise if I require a registered electrician to inspect the work and issue a Minor Works Certificate? As it's adding to an existing circuit (and in a bedroom) I don't believe we need to notify building control as part of Part P requirements, but I'd really appreciate it if somebody would confirm the best process. In response to Deacon ES, thanks for your response. He trained and qualified a few years back when building his own house and was registered at the time so he could sign off his own work but his registration with ELECSA has since lapsed as he's not a operational electrician so I'm not sure he's allowed to certify and sign off a minor work certificate (that's if I need it for a job of this scale). In terms of Part P, I was also looking for reassurance that a job of this scale (I.e. Extension of an existing circuit in a bedroom rather than a whole new circuit) is excempt from Part P guidance & builing regs approval etc but does still need a Minor Work Cert - which causes my quandary. Thanks.
